People urged to be wary of scam

The RACT is warning Tasmanians about a telephone selling scam involving fake consultants.

The RACT is warning Tasmanians about a telephone scam involving fake consultants.

Spokesman, Vince Taskunas, says the organisation was yesterday alerted by several members who had been pitched a product over the phone called RACT Roadside costing $39 a fortnight.

Mr Taskunas says they were also offered an immediate $500 cash or travel incentive.

He says it is fraudulent.

"We want to get the word out," Mr Taskunas said.

"People calling you posing as RACT consultants offering you a $500 cash incentive straight away, don't give them any bank details, don't click on any websites and don't share any details with them because it's not a genuine RACT offer."

Mr Taskunas is urging anyone who thinks they may be a victim to contact the police non-emergency line on 131 444.
